josh,
The record manager field is not a character field as it appears to be. It is stored differently internally but when displayed on the screen it presents as a text string representing the username. That's why importing a text string into the record manager field doesn't work. Usually you can create an additional field when importing and put some temporary value that you can use to lookup after doing the import. After the import is done lookup those records for that value you specified before import then you do an edit replace on the record manager field to the user you want. Both of these processes however are cases where you want to absolutely back up first; importing and doing edit-replaces as they involve mass changes. You can always restore a backup if something doesn't look right or go as expected.

Just a wild guess: How about attempting a test import into the demo database?
Same thing or does it work? If it works, than you have something going on with the target database...
